16.7. Adding a Raw Material Request (Adding a Warehouse Order)

Member businesses can use the system to send headquarters their requests for raw materials managed by headquarters.

When headquarters makes raw materials available to your business, you will see the "Raw Material Request List" button under inventory in the menu. The "+" button on the page opened by this button takes you to the page required to add a new raw material request to the system.

On the page that opens, you can write a short note about the order and start the process with "Save & Add Raw Material Request".

At the top of the raw material request page, you can see the basic information about the raw material request and its status.

Below the basic information is the raw material addition form, followed by the list of requested raw materials.

When a category is selected in the raw material addition form, the products in that category are listed in the raw material field.

When the quantity of the raw material to be ordered is entered in the relevant row, the list of ordered raw materials is populated.

For example, one package of the "Kostarika 500GR" product contains 500 grams. To request 3 kilograms, enter 6 as the requested quantity.

The requested raw material is listed in the table under "Raw Materials", as shown in the example. You can make changes in the table when you want to change or delete the requested quantity. To clear the entire list, press the "Delete All" button.

The estimated prices appear in the relevant row for all requested raw materials.

You can see the total amount in the box containing the basic information. A red amount means that payment has not been made.

After adding your raw materials to the request, you can edit your note, press the "Save" button, and submit your request with the "Submit Request" button.

Until payment is made and recorded in the system, the request amount in the header is shown in red. After payment, it is shown in green as in the image.

The request process begins with the planning stage. Requests that have been planned and sent to headquarters are evaluated, and payment is then collected. After payment is collected, the raw materials in the request are packed and then shipped. When the shipped raw materials reach the relevant business, the request is marked as completed and archived.
